“It’s just a sad situation because you’ve got kids involved”: Good Morning America Hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes Lose Ally in Gayle King as Fellow Host Believes it Was Right to Remove Them From Air After Initial Support
GMA 3 co-hosts T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach were taken off air in the aftermath of their wildly publicized affair scandal. The president of ABC News, Kim Godwin considered the spectacle too much of a distraction, and Good Morning America host, Robin Roberts felt that the scandal was tainting the show. Another prominent media personality has expressed her perspective about the scandalous affair – CBS News host, Gayle King.
CBS co-anchor Gayle King on the Amy Robach – T.J. Holmes affair
According to the CBS This Morning co-anchor, Gayle King – GMA 3 and Good Morning America have turned “very messy” and “sloppy”. The reason? A scandalous affair between the co-hosts. Although it wasn’t always like this. In the beginning, the duo had an ally in King but with various convoluted layers coming to the fore, she decided to take a step back.
King was recently a guest on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, and there she addressed her thoughts on the affair and ABC’s method of tackling it. She said,
“In the beginning I actually thought, good on ‘Good Morning America.’ They’re saying they’re not taking them off the air. It’s two consenting adults. But then the more you read, it’s just very messy.”
The 67-year-old was alluding to the fact that Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes’ relationship started out as an extra-marital affair, and they separated from their spouses only later.

The Oprah Magazine editor further went on about how saddened she felt about the twisted family situation.
“I think, to me, it’s just a sad situation because you’ve got kids involved, you’ve got families involved, and I keep thinking about that. I’m very concerned about that.”
What has seemingly complicated the matter beyond redemption is the fact that Robach is not the only co-worker that Holmes has had or is having an affair with. It was revealed a few days ago that he was also in a three-year relationship with one of GMA’s former producer, Natasha Singh. Holmes’ wife, Marilee Fiebig found out about the infidelity in 2019 and tried putting an end to it. She had been recuperating from that shock and thus never saw the Robach affair coming. She was completely blindsided because her focus was on Singh, whereas Robach had always been a close friend of the family.
However, the most disturbing part about the whole thing is that as per reports, Holmes had had affairs with numerous other staff members of ABC News. A source revealed,
“It’s one thing for him to have a relationship with another anchor. The question is whether he violated company rules by dating less senior employees.”
And now the broadcasting company will be looking into Holmes’ record and behavior to ascertain whether he violated any company policy.
